DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 17 May 2019 09:30 GMT

USD/JPY - 109.67
Despite dollar's strong rebound from Mon's 3-month trough of 109.02 to 110.03 in Asian morning today, subsequent fall to 109.55 at European open on renewed U.S.-China trade tension suggests recovery has ended and price would head to 109.15/16 after range trading.

On the upside, only a daily close above 110.05 would risk gain towards 110.28/32, then possibly 110.60/70.

On the data front, U.S. will release a slew of eco. data (please see our EI page for details). Also we have a number of Fed officials speaking in New York session later (see EI page for details).

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 20 May 2019 05:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1166
Euro's resumption of decline from last week's 1.1265 high (Mon) to an 11-day trough of 1.1155 on Friday due to usd's strength after upbeat U.S. consumer confidence suggests downside bias remains, however, as price is likely to remain confined inside recent broad range of 1.1265-1.1135, only below lower level would yield re-test of April's 22-month bottom at 1.1112.

On the upside, above 1.1200 would add credence to consolidative outlook and would head back to 1.1225, then later 1.1241/46.

On the data front, Germany will kick off with PPI, then the EU will release current account. ECB's Chief Economist will speak at an event in London at 08:00GMT n Germany's ECONMIN Altmaier will speak at an economic forum in Brandenburg at 11:30GMT.

EUR/USD - 1.1166
Despite euro's resumption of decline from last week's 1.1265 high (Mon) to a 2-week low of 1.1151 yesterday, as price is likely to remain confined inside recent broad range of 1.1265-1.1135, indicated lower level would hold and yield rebound.

Above 1.1184 would bring gain to 1.1200, break there adds credence to consolidative outlook and would head back towards 1.1225. Only below 1.1135 risks weakness towards 1.1112.

Eco. calendar in the euro area countries is thin today with EU consumer confidence being the only data due out in New York morning. However, we have ECB's Hakkarainen n ECB's Vice President Guindos speaking in European morning.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 21 May 2019 09:30 GMT

USD/JPY - 110.12
Although dollar has retreated after Monday's rise to a 1-week high at 110.32 in Asia, as 109.81 (New York) has contained weakness, upside bias is retained for recent upmove from last Monday's 3-month trough at 109.02 to resume and extend to 110.50/60 before prospect of decline due to loss of momentum, below 109.50 would bring re-test of 109.02.

On the upside, only above 110.70 would risk stronger gain towards 111.05.

Market has shown muted reaction to early comments by Fed's J. Powell. U.S. will release Redbook sales, existing home sales in New York morning. Also we have Fed's Evans n Fed's Rosengren speaking later today.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 22 May 2019 05:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1165
Despite falling to a marginal 2-week low of 1.1142 (Europe), euro's intra-day cable-led brief bounce to 1.1188 in New York suggests price would 'gyrate' inside recent 1.1265-1.1135 broad range and a daily close above said Tuesday's high would add credence to this consolidative view and would head back to 1.1265, however, reckon 1.1265 would cap upside.

Below 1.1135 any time would risk re-test of April's 22-month bottom at 1.1112, break there would extend Medium Term downtrend to 1.1060/70 later this week.

Data to be released on Wednesday :

USD/JPY - 110.39
Dollar's rally from 110.07 in Europe to a 2-week high at 110.67 in New York on broad-based gains in U.S. stocks yesterday suggests recent upmove from last Monday's 3-month trough of 109.02 has resumed and further gain to 110.85/95 would be seen after consolidation, however, reckon 111.05 should hold and yield retreat.

Below 110.07 would indicate temporary top made and extend weakness towards 109.81.
Above 110.05 risks gain to 111.35/38.

U.S. calendar is very thin with MBA mortgage applications being the only data due out ahead of release of FOMC minutes at 18:00GMT. We have a number of Fed officials delivering speeches today (see EI page for details).

Despite dollar's resumption of upmove from May's 3-month trough at 109.02 to a 2-week high of 110.67 on Tuesday, subsequent retreat to 110.13 in Asia today suggests temporary top is possibly made n consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness to 109.45/50 but 109.15/16 should hold and yield rebound.

On the upside, only above 110.67 would risk one more rise towards 111.90/00 before retreat.

Despite euro's intra-day brief break of previous 2019 low at 1.1112 to a 2-year trough of 1.1108, subsequent impressive rally to 1.1187 due to usd's broad-based weakness on initial selloff in U.S. stocks and falling yields suggests temporary bottom is in place and 1-2 days of choppy consolidation with upside bias is in store.

Above this week's 1.1188 high (Tuesday) would bring stronger retracement to 1.1225, however, near term o/bot condition should cap price below May's peak at 1.1265.

USD/JPY - 109.56
Although dollar has recovered to 109.75 in Asian morning after yesterday's selloff, subsequent retreat suggests pullback has ended and recent decline from Tuesday's 110.67 would resume and bring re-test of May's 3-month bottom at 109.02, where break would extend fall from April's 112.39 high to 108.50.

On the upside, only above 110.07 would prolong choppy trading and risk retracement towards 110.32/37.

EUR/USD - 1.1210
Although euro's resumption of near term upmove from last Thursday's 2-year bottom at 1.1108 to 1.1212 Friday due to broad-based usd's weakness confirms Medium Term downtrend has made a temporary low, o/bot condition should prevent strong gain today and reckon previous res 1.1265 (April's high) would cap upside and yield retreat later today or tomorrow.

On the downside, only below sup area at 1.1173/79 signals 1st leg of correction is over and yields retracement to 1.1145/55 before prospect of rebound.

No eco. data is due out from the euro area, so order flows will have a greater impart to intra-day price swings. ECB's Coeure will be delivering a speech organised by BIS in Basel, Switzerland.

EUR/USD - 1.1179
Euro's intra-day gain to 1.1181 on Friday due to broad-based weakness in usd on falling U.S. yields and stocks suggests further choppy trading above May's 2-year bottom at 1.1108 would continue with upside bias for stronger gain to 1.1215/25.
However, break there is needed to retain bullishness for subsequent headway to 1.1240/50.

Only a daily close below 1.1138 (New York low) dampens bullish view and risks weakness towards 1.1116 but 1.1108 should remain intact.

Today is PMI day in the euro area countries, Italy will kick off with Markit mfg PMI, then the same from France, Germany and the EU, if these PMI readings come out higher than market estimates, then euro will extend Friday's gain, if not, expect a minor pullback before prospect of another rise later in the day.
